    We enjoyed a delicious bowl of chicken pho and the ESP salad with chicken -- fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. Although they were out of wonton soup, the pho was just as satisfying. It's a great spot for takeout or outdoor dining, and the staff was very accommodating with our dietary requests. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes -- and explore the other eateries at The Wash!

    The pho was delicious and the spring rolls crunchy. I loved dining on the patio. It started to rain, but it was easy to get under cover.

    Beef Pho with Oxtail

    Went to this spot yesterday and it was average to me. Broth seemed bland with no flavor and they acted like they didn't want to give me another sauce. I'm like it's chillin sauce not like I'm asking for guacamole . Be prepared to sit outside amongst dog hair and cigarette butts.

    Bun Bo Hue Pho

    I'm a sucker for Pho but I'm never on this side of town. When my coworker and I talked about eating lunch someplace new, he found this micro food hall. The name eludes me but I think it was an old car wash and you have these smaller order-only restaurants with outdoor seating. We originally went for a Latin-American restaurant but seeing a Pho restaurant stopped me in my tracks and I ordered from here instead. Granted, I should have known better than to order a hot soup on a Nashville humid, summer day and I paid the price because my shirt was soaked from sweat, but the Pho was so good. I ordered the "Bun Bo Hue", a pork and beef pho chock full of pork shoulder, beef shank, and pork dumplings. Some people may be turned off by the oil slick on top but not me. Bring on the fat. The quantity, as most pho restaurants, was a huge bowl with all the traditional garnishes. My only complaint is that it wasn't salty enough. I guess I could have asked for some salt packets but I didn't. Besides, we could all use a little less sodium in our diet. This place is worth every penny. Although I probably won't go there if the weather is bad, I do need to wait until the weather is a little more tolerable to outdoor dining.

    Chicken pho - generous portion, so many garnishes, and so tasty!

    Hot take: my favorite things to get here are actually the non-pho items. Don't get me wrong: on a cold day, grabbing a heaping bowl of chicken pho (where I always sub tofu for the chicken meat) can really hit the spot, but the rotating specials and quite frankly one of my all-time favorite salads are my go-to's at this lovely fast-casual spot in East. Part of a micro food hall of sorts, East Side Pho brings the fresh and herby flavors I love in Vietnamese cuisine to anything they do. On a recent day when I didn't eat lunch and came in a bit hangry, I grabbed the new shrimp & pork steamed dumplings with chili oil. Let me just say -- WOW. I actually don't eat pork so had never ordered these before but now I guess I eat pork only when East Side Pho is serving up these dumplings? Literally some of the best dumplings I've ever had. Have gotten them several times since then. The salad is also a real fave - the half is SUPER generous and filling, loaded with herbs, pickled onions, crunchy peanuts, crispy chicken skin. So dreamy and delicious. Also recommend just getting a cup of broth to go for a tasty sipper! My go-to whenever I feel the slightest chance of a sniffle coming in and I'm convinced this broth cures all. Lots of room to sit outside or you can combine with a tasty drink inside at nearby bar Bay 6 (my go-to option!)

    LOVE this place! Ordered the special Shrimp Bun Bowl, Beef Pho, Dumplings and Matcha Boba tea. It was absolutely delicious. The flavors were amazing! This is my new go to place! Love the outdoor seating. I highly recommend this fabulous eatery. P.s. took home my leftovers!

    Spicy pork noodles
    Musie Y.

    Excited to see pho in this side of town. I ordered the beef pho and spicy pork noodles (under not pho). However, the pho was a little bland than what I had hoped for. It has some flavor and the beef was good , but it's not that flavor hitting pho taste so that was a little disappointing. The spicy pork noodles were nonsoupy so it's noodles with their chili peanut sauce and minced pork. This was pretty flavorful and has a little spicy kick to it. I ordered take out so it might not have tasted as good as if I ate it there when it was made fresh! This restaurant is part of the Wash and they have a cute outdoor patio seating but they share it with a few other restaurants. However, parking is super tough because the lot can only fit a few cars and this is for customers from all the restaurants there. I found some street parking a few blocks away.

    Pho toppings and veggies
    Christine L.

    I've had East Side Pho when they held pop up events at East Side Banh Mi which I love and I was excited when they opened up East Side Pho. We needed some good Pho in the East Nashville side! This time I got ESP through Uber eats as delivery and they separated the soup from the toppings and meat and veggies, which I appreciated, to keep everything fresh and not soggy! The soup was pretty good, I just wished the flavor of the soup was a little stronger. It seemed a little watered down so a little more meaty flavor would have made this perfect! Noodles were good and they gave a good portion of the meat and the meat was delicious as well! Definitely squeeze lime on your soup - it make a difference! Toppings I added pickled onions and chili oil crisp. Highly recommend! My only thing is that they charge $1.95 for chili oil crisp in a small sauce container when other restaurants would give that as free as a condiment.

    This is like a homemade pho (in the best way). The chicken broth is light and warming. It's my go to pho spot. #1!

    The best bubble tea. I had a tea with sticky rice and none dairy milk. I left and came back the same day to get another one. Mmm good.

    People people ! While I love my Pho bowls from LPP... their recent weekend buffets are hands down…read morethe bond! It is Price Fixe at about 30 dollars... but for that price you get a fabulous array of Asian and Vietnamese food.. however being able to build your own howl at a specific station is to die for! The Imperial egg rolls are on point and of course the broth for the Pho is as always delicious. The weekend brunch is a specialty during November and December ... but I do hope they find a way to do it if not every weekend ...maybe monthly? The best thing about this place is the consistency! The food is always on point! The service and ambiance are also good...laid back and friendly. Even if you have missed the buffet times, I encourage you to visit for the excellent preparation and consistent food

    My friend and I were really looking forward to trying this restaurant before a show at Zanies. We…read morehad made reservations, but when we arrived, the place was completely empty, so reservations didn't seem necessary. We were seated right away and quickly decided what we wanted to order. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. There were two staff members present: one behind the bar and one in the dining are. After being seated, no one acknowledged us. We waited about 15 minutes without anyone offering water, taking our order, or even checking in. What made it more frustrating was when another guest came in and was immediately greeted and served water, while we were still being ignored. At that point, it became clear we weren't going to receive service, so we decided to leave. As we walked out, the staff watched us go without saying a word or attempting to address the situation. We ended up going to The Smiling Elephant, where we had a completely different experience--friendly service and great food. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend this restaurant.
